New Euromeisters 7&9 - Non matching finish

Just ordered a brand new set of Euromeisters.

Didn’t even take them out of the box prior to having tires mounted (my mistake!)

Has anyone else noticed their 7s and 9s didn’t have matching finishes?

The 7s have a glossy center with a more polished lip. The 9s are flat black and deeper grooved machined lips.

I’m going to call the company I purchased from in the morning, but I’m interested to hear if anyone else has had the same experience.

It almost looks like they either forgot to clear or used a different clear coat on the rear wheels.

Mine match and look like your 9's. Satin black paint and small machined ridges on the rims. Maybe your 7's are from a very different batch. I would send em back. I think the 9's are normal.

Agree, my 7s and 9s look like your 9s. Send the 7s back.

Supplier says the 9s are the normal finish. They can't explain why the 7s look like that. They are sending a new set out.

what size and brand of tire did you go with? Good luck on the return process.

205/55R16 and 245/45R16

I was told I found some of the last matching Bridgestone RE-11 tires in the country...

On the bright side for those looking for tires, my local Costco said the new RE71R (replacement for the RE-11) already has a 205/55R16 and the rears are speculated to be coming through in the next few months.
